Dignity Support Services
It all begins with respect…
“It is the belief of this department that everyone, regardless of any disabilities they may have, should be able to attend and enjoy all that IndyFurCon has to offer without hinderance, and with dignity and respect for all attendees. – Ashiera / 2025 D.S.S. Team Lead
Our Purpose
The purpose of this department is to do what we can, within reasonable expectations, to aid people with disabilities in the freedom of movement, understanding, and enjoyment of IndyFurCon, with dignity and respect. We shall do what we can within our abilities to provide ADA compliant convention space, assistance, quiet and safe areas for those who need them, and facilities that are welcoming and free of hinderances or obstacles that may otherwise detract from their experiencing all that IndyFurCon has to offer.
